The five victims – in their 70s and 80s – are all linked to the parish council or local charities, sparking fear that local vendettas and land disputes are playing out in a sinister way.

Threatening letters have been sent and phone calls made in the 18-month campaign or terror in St Briavels, Forest of Dean, Gloucestershire.

The middle-aged woman in the mask also wore a black wig, which has been recovered, and is wanted for trashing the paintwork of six vehicles, including a mobile home.

The menacing suspect was caught on CCTV targeting a Land Rover before her costume was later found discarded in the town of just 1000.

Footage of another attack showed a young man in a hoodie appearing to be to blame, opening up the mystery and leaving residents to wonder if he is working with the woman or is a copycat.

Parish councillor Andrew Clarke said sick letters and pornographic material has been posted through local letterboxes and catflaps in the middle of the night.

A Gloucestershire Police spokesperson said: "On Friday, March 22 we received a report of criminal damage in the St Briavels area where unknown offenders had poured acid over a car.

"The car, a Renault Megane Scenic, was extensively damaged during the incident, which happened between 6pm on Thursday March 21 and 10.25am the following day."

Music teacher John Hurley, who owns a Renault and is the latest victim of the campaign, said the car was damaged so badly that it could be a write-off.

The 73-year-old said: “Luckily, I was aware of the previous attacks so I knew straight away what it was.

“If I hadn’t known and had touched it, it would have been disastrous. I teach music and the acid would have damaged my fingers.

“It’s devastating to think there are people in our community who could do such a thing.”

Tens of thousands of pounds of damage has been caused to the five cars and a motorhome, and villagers, who are desperate for answers, have pooled £2,000 to help catch the culprit.

One victim managed to catch two suspects on CCTV. The person, who did not want to be named, said: "Our home security cameras showed at least two people involved in the attack on our vehicle and property.

"The pair pulled up in a vehicle.

"One was a stout bald middle-aged man wearing glasses, accompanied by a tallish middle-aged woman who was wearing a devil's mask, black curly wig, a poncho and boots with a distinctive thick white sole, who proceeded to throw acid all over our black Freelander.

"A wig and devil's mask matching the security footage was later recovered along with an acid bottle cap, which was handed to the police scenes of crime investigators."
